Huntsville's new fire chief and his family are grieving the loss of their son.

LCpl. Adam Loggins was killed this week while serving in Iraq. He's the son of fire chief Danny Loggins and his wife Becky.

The family is asking for your thoughts and prayers. And they're certainly receiving them from all across the Heart of the Valley. And that includes their marine family.

Three young men who served in Iraq for about seven months made it home to their families Thursday night. Families were ecstatic to have them home, but heartbroken that not every family is as fortunate.

A hero's welcome, and the angst of three families, finally put to rest.
